Woodfires safety tips

Plumbing & Heating

Here are three top safety tips for using woodfires:

Regular Chimney Maintenance:
Ensure your chimney is cleaned and inspected at least once a year by a professional. This helps prevent creosote buildup, which can cause chimney fires

Use the Right Wood:
Burn only dry wood. Avoid burning green or wet wood, as it produces more creosote and smoke

Install Safety Alarms:
Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Make sure these detectors are tested regularly and have fresh batteries

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
